Re: [hr-wsis] SV: Re: FYI - Criticism of Tunisia Not Allowed At UN Meeting
Hi all,
When I've expressed my concerns that IFEX report has not been
distributed, I got the answer that "exactly the same rules as for HRIC
has been applied". It's hard to argue on a legal basis against that.
You may remember how dfficult it was to get Human rights in China
reports inside the UN premises, and that Antoine had to remind all of
us during the HR caucus panel that these are the UN rules, and that a
UN legal adviser was in the room. Antoine also had to kindly ask the
attendance not to disseminate these documents outside of the panel
room, until they have left the UN premises.
We all know that UN rules are strict, and that they are used, as all
rules, when a problem appears, i.e. when protests are issued by a given
governement.
In such a situation, what we can only do is both raising our concerns,
as CS, with regard to UN rules in general and both criticize at the
political level how these rules are used by some governements to
silence critical voices.

My understanding is, that it was UN rules concerning 'only material
from accredited entities can be circulated on the premises'. Which is
also strange.. what if i wanted to bring in
materials/reserach/analysis from a partner org that was not accredited
(= participating) to this meeting. Then i could not do this..
Rik, can you tjek w Renata what exactly are the rules that were
referred to.. ?
